retailers are recalling a baby key line -- recliner called the nap nanny. there's been 92 records of babies hanging -- reports of babies hanging or falling out of the recliner. consumer product safety commission says retailers are issuing the recall because the manufacturer is unwilling or unable to participate. the product was recalled in 2010 after one reported death. >>> traveling during the winter months can be a lot more treacherous than in the summertime. but abc2 news karin caifa is working to show you the apps to make the travel more smooth. >> reporter: frozen runways, mounting snow, winter travel can get messy and all it takes is a snowstorm in one part of the country to trigger a ripple effect of delays and cancellations well across it. a smart phone can't dial up mother nature it can make travel interruptions more tolerable. apps like date grew rue for apple and android and travel nerd help navigate unfamiliar airports for travel essentials. it maps out food and coffee shopping and amenities closest to the gate and tips and reviews from other travelers. travel nerd has similar i

it puts michigan, a state with a 10%, 11% unemployment rate, puts that state right back on the nap. >> si stephen correct that this actually economically makes sense, even if politically, it seems kind of like out of step with the times? >> i go worback and forth on th on the down side, it goes for slower wages. i think steven is right, it will lead to more jobs, i mean michigan is at a disadvantage against some of the right to work states that are just south of it and its lost a lot of the auto jobs to places like kentucky and tennessee and indiana. and this will probably make it more balanced. but again, it's going to weigh on wages. that's the bottom line here. >> the unions in michigan have given up quite a bit with the auto bailouts in 2009 and forward and so they have been -- it's a very much a cooperative relationship that's developed between the management and labor and the auto companies are in neutral on this legislation. >> really, remember during the bailout, the big sticking point was getting the unions to bend on their requirement, on their pensions, and i mean, at the time

most of the projections are saying we'll have 165 million jobs nap will be 23 billion new jobs, in addition to that, we get 32 million job openings from baby boom retirement. that's 55 million job openings. americans have not seen this in awhile. i think one of the interesting -- i think there's always china, europe, and the congress who can mess this up, but i think it's going to be pretty hard to stop this recovery. we have done everything we can to do it. we can probably do it again if we try hard. i think we won't succeed this time. >> we talked that brings up a good point. we haven't talked about job creation yet and the polling shows that's a big concern for americans. particularly for the long-term unemployed who have been left behind a little bit in the economic recovery, do you feel like the president and congress is doing enough to address that problem? and what politically and realistically could be done in the next four years? yeah. >>, i mean, i think the president is committed to this, i think that he would like to see i think see unemployment insurance -- and he

commission says the nap nanny has defects in its designs, warnings and instructions. they say the product is linked to at least five infant deaths and dozens of reports of children nearly falling out of the recliners. the four retailers, amazon.com, bye-bye baby, diapers.com and toys "r" us/babies "r" us agreed to participate in the recall voluntarily. >>> a new survey shows more americans are reading their books on electronic tablets. the pew internet research center conducted the study and says 20% of people 16 and older read from an e-book. the readers of traditional books fell from 72% to 67%. the study also revealed more than 30% of americans now own an e-book tab let. >>> we've been talking about the fiscal cliff talks, but there is a deadline approaching on the milk cliff. the price of a gallon of milk could double next week because congress has not passed an updated farm bill. they do it every five years, but the latest farm bill is expiring on new year's. if there's not a new one, a new law from the truman era kicks in forcing the government to buy milk at higher prices. dairy fa

as products called the nap nanny or the chill, more than 100,000 of these products from a company called baby matters, have now been sold. the government is demanding refunds for those customers. the company refused and then went out of business. >>> and here's what's passing for progress to avoid that fiscal cliff at year's end. president obama and house speaker john boehner spoke about it on the phone with one another. that discussion came as treasury secretary tim geithner confirmed mr. obama is prepared to take the economy over the cliff unless republicans agree to raise tax rates on the wealthy. >>> meantime in georgia, some activists expressed frustration about the stalemate in holiday spirit. they delivered symbolic lumps of coal to the offices of both of their state's u.s. senators. but security guards met them outside of republican saxby chambliss' office. eventually, a few were let inside, but without the camera and media present. of course. that would have been the real story. >> folks are upset now. see what happens january 1 after you get the first paycheck and go, oh, this is wh

deductions, both on standard deductions and paring nap or if any changes in the medical deductions. there's a balanced program. this is truly not to the harm or caused greater cost be borne by the economically vulnerable citizens that we have and our program. >> senator reid. >> well, thank you very much, mr. chairman and man secretary. one of the consistent themes here both from your department and from the germans questioning is lowering the deadweight costs on small public housing authorities. one issue that has come recently to our attention is that the agency has recognized in the awarding of grants, there were some errors. we have a province that is in that process. the head to come back and redo the work that administrative costs. can you give us some insight into the what happened and what your doing. >> thank you for that question. i sometimes refer to it as cosmic convergence. there are several things that went wrong. they all went wrong at the same time and hence we find ourselves in having made a mistake. in the award in the calculations with those awards for the families suff

take a nap. >> that's fair enough. >> yep. >> what did you learn today? >> actually i learned something fairly serious from david ignacious about the united states policy to the middle east and egyptian president morsi. calm down. we can't inject our values into that system. we have to let it play out. >> very nice. >> i learned from david, whose novels about this twilight world are so wonderful, that there are no analogies we can point to to take comfort from as we go forward. and so we'd better hope that point "a" is also correct. >> i thought the lincoln analogy was dead on. and what a

nap means default over the cliff, whatever it means to straighten it out. that's not productive or necessary. we shouldn't be thinking that way. we have to come together on this. those who want more spending understand that there's going to be less spending. those who don't want to deal with taxes at all and now there's some softening at least in the rhetoric where they are prepared to go on that. it's been the vision, it's gotten to the point of almost hatefulness. go back and take a look and ten or nine, actually, '09, and '08. the town hall meetings and the ranker and the frustration of the people coming out against their country and anger at levels of people have not seen before forward one another as opposed to civil discussion and civil discourse. .. and what ever but getting out of the hands of those that do it for their own interests. that's wrong to forget it shouldn't be about whether or not i save my seat by gerrymandering around to bring in more republicans or democrats or get some out of my district as something. that's wrong. i had to deal with it when i was govern
